@gulfie also wait hold up. so... 30 is the series number. like the 9 in 970.

60 is... upper mid range? usually for Geforce??

>60 is high range, <50 is lower end usually if I recall.
...

did they not release a mid-range before the high end and low end??... nvidia what in the balls

@gulfie graphics card notation confuses me heck

@foxwitch@queer.af Yeah I think I might stick with a 1660 at the moment, that future proofs me for a while and the RTX stuff isn't STRICTLY necessary y'know? I'll wait until the market has cooled on that. Besides, the processor is more important at this stage. Doesn't matter how shithot the graphics card is if my processor can't do more than trundle along at 5mph.

hmmmmm for this new pc do i go gtx 1660 Super (good value, great performance for a non RTX card, especially for its sub-£250 price - usually goes for around £200) or do I splash out on an RTX card? which will cost around about £300-£400?

@Salith@mastodon.social Oh yeah almost certainly. like, I'm still running DDR3 here, not DDR4 sooo...

god like... if I were to upgrade this i7-4770k ... what would I go to?

Like, I know a Ryzen might actually be ag ood idea this time, but... WHICH Ryzen???

realising I have no idea what the fuck i am doing with pcs now because tech has moved on yet again and I am like "?????????????"

just sitting here booting up PC Building Simulator so I can try and build a PC upgrade for myself that's... different, and entirely whatever "speaks to me". might post pics.
